Description
STUNNING TIMEWARP VOLVO 850 2. 5S 10V – 5 CYLINDER - MANUAL– HEATED SEATS – ELECTRIC SUNROOF AND MIRRORS – LEATHER – ONLY 96, 000 MILES – LATE 1996 (P)
First Registered 1st October 1996 at Mill Volvo in Darlington.
Only 2 former keepers from new. The first owner cherished it for an impressive 26 years.
Rare 2. 5 10V S model which was unusually specified with the 5 speed manual gearbox.
Regent Red Metallic with Black Half Leather Interior
Original 16 inch Volvo ‘Columbia’ Alloys with new centre caps. The wheels have been subject to a professional tyre off refurbishment and remain unmarked with zero curbing. These are fitted with the correct 205/ 50 R16 87W tyres all round with good tread remaining.
The interior and seats are in fabulous unmarked condition. No wear to the dash or plastics and a solid rattle free place to spend time. Original rubber overmats fitted. The seats have been treated with leather feed in my ownership so keep them soft and supple.
The car has been garaged extensively throughout its life, which has no doubt shielded it from the worst of the elements.
Extensive Service History at Mill Volvo Darlington and specialist independents thereafter all documented in the original service book. All the owners manuals, lots of receipts and even copies of the Annual Services at Volvo dating back to 1997.
Lots of Recent Expenditure to include:
